The People’s Bulk Email settings screen gives you one grid where you can set every person’s communication preferences at once. Instead of opening each record individually, you can see everyone with an email address on a single page and tick which types of message each person should receive.
Finding the page
Go to the Comms tab and open People’s Bulk Email settings. Everyone who has an email address and is marked active is listed, ordered alphabetically by surname.
The preference columns
Each person has a row with their name and email, followed by a checkbox for each type of communication:
- Email Send — receives general bulk emails.
- Schedule Email — receives their rota / schedule emails.
- Blog Post Send — receives your blog / news post emails.
- Bible Readings — receives the Bible readings emails.
- Prayer Request Send — receives prayer request emails.
Tick a box to opt that person in, untick it to opt them out. The checkboxes show each person’s current settings when the page loads, so you can see the whole church’s preferences at a glance.
Select-all column headers
Each column heading has its own checkbox. Tick it to select — or untick to clear — that preference for everyone in the list at once. This is the quick way to, say, opt your whole church into blog post emails, then fine-tune the exceptions by hand before saving.
Saving
When you’ve set everything as you want it, click Save. Your changes are applied across all the listed people and you’ll see an “Updated” confirmation.
Important: saving writes the preferences for everyone shown on the page, so the grid needs to reflect exactly what you want before you save — a person left unticked will be opted out of that communication. Make your changes and save in one go, rather than expecting to save one column at a time.
A note on consent
These settings control what each person receives, so they’re part of respecting people’s communication consent. Only opt people into messages they’ve agreed to receive, in line with your data protection practice — see GDPR.
